The end of the challenge...until Sept!

I was so excited to join the 29 Faces Challenge last month.  I got to meet a lot of new bloggers/artists and it kept me motivated to create new art.  I really enjoyed trying a bunch of different mediums to create all of these faces.  Here are some of the faces I created for this past month's challenge:

 I can't wait until September to "attend" again.  In the meantime, I would love to keep in touch with everyone who was creating so expect to see my name popping up in the comments!

Zoey the cat

Zoey the Siamese cat is my face #10 for the 29 Faces Challenge.  My friend lost her kitty and I wanted to make something for her to remember her little fur baby with.  I did this one using colored pencil.

Pet Portraits- Ozzy

I somewhat recently started  pet portraits for friends who either lost their fur babies or just REALLY wanted portraits done.  

My friend had a kitty that had a lot of health problems his whole life but she gave him the best life imaginable.  He was a lucky guy!  Unfortunately he ended up losing his fight with cancer and she was/is devastated. She kept asking how she was going to get through the day without being able to look into his eyes and talk to him.  I decided I wanted to do something nice and give a little piece of him back to her and draw a portrait for her, so she can still look into those beautiful eyes and talk to him whenever she wants.  

Here is the photo and the drawing I did using colored pencils:

sorry for the terrible cell phone pic!

I created the look of a painting by pressing REALLY hard and blending over top.

The best part....She LOVES it!  <3
